Quotes by Ann Rinaldi
-
Our enemies make us strong, Miss Muffet, not our friends. Our friends will lie to us, tell us what we need to hear. Forgive us. We must keep a few good enemies on hand, always, to keep us sharp and teach us never to do anything that needs forgiveness.

Read quote -
You don't trade in the devil you know for the one you don't know.
